Fat mal-absorption: You may not be able to absorb fats and malabsorption can cause diarrhea. It would be useful to consult a Castro-enterologist for an evaluation.

Fat malabsorption?: If butter and margarine are bothering you, there may be an issue with fat malabsorption. Could be your gallbladder.
